Barry Smith plans a shopping trip to Iceland to boost his Dundee squad for next season’s promotion push.

The Dens Park boss had a successful spell with Icelandic cracks Valur a few years back and has contacts there.

Smith, who needs to go one better than this season’s runners-up slot in the First Division, said: “I still keep in touch with people in Iceland and I’m going up there later this week to have a look at players.

“The Under-17s look like being the next big thing so it’s a chance to take a look.

“Iceland’s top Under-21 team was just coming up through the under-17s when I was there. They progressed in the right manner but you have to get in early for them.”
